v0.4.0 - 2023-09-05

• Moved module code into a separate Assembly Load Context to avoid assembly conflicts for dependencies
• Added the following cmdlets:
  • New-OpenADObject: Creates new AD objects
  • Remove-OpenADObject: Removes AD objects
  • Get-OpenADRootDSE: Get the root directory server information tree
• Fixed up -LDAPFilter logic to align the \ escaping behaviour with OpenLDAP and the Get-AD* cmdlets
  • Before a filter with the char \ had to have 2 more chars [A-F0-9] which represented the characters hex value
  • Now if the \ does not have 2 characters after or they don't match the hex pattern, the \ and subsequent values are treated literally
• Fixed up some binary length calculations for the PSOpenAD.Security classes

Hi,

This package is a good idea and works well so far! However, I see it's missing features such as enabling or disabling users/computers. Are there any plans to add this ability?

Thanks!

Basic functionality for setting object has been added by #76 and will be in the next release. For this specific scenario you can disable users/computers with the following

# Use Get-OpenADComputer for computers
$user = Get-OpenADUser vagrant -Properties userAccountControl
$user | Set-OpenADObject -Replace @{
    userAccountControl = ($user.UserAccountControl -bor [PSOpenAD.UserAccountControl]::AccountDisable)
}

The reverse is as follows

$user = Get-OpenADUser vagrant -Properties userAccountControl
$user | Set-OpenADObject -Replace @{
    userAccountControl = ($user.UserAccountControl -band -bnot [PSOpenAD.UserAccountControl]::AccountDisable)
}

v0.5.0 has just been published with this new functionality.
